From 15 November to 15 December 2013, ECAL/University of Art and
Design Lausanne presents the “ECAL Photography” exhibition in the
gallery of famous fashion designer Azzedine Alaïa in Paris. The
exhibition offers a selection of works produced by 58 young talents
during their Photography Bachelor curriculum at ECAL. All these images
were chosen by exhibition curator Nathalie Herschdorfer, who has
developed several internationally acclaimed projects around emerging
photography, as well as by Milo Keller, head of the Photography
programme at ECAL, and Alexis Georgacopoulos, ECAL director. The
scenography of the exhibition is created especially by Swiss designer
Adrien Rovero.
The “ECAL Photography” book (296 pages,
385 images) supports this event. This book is produced by art publishers
Hatje Cantz, with a worldwide reputation for their catalogue of
publications on photography. (HD Images)
An
art school is an image factory. New generations of artists are
constantly emerging, joining the marathon of exhibitions and
publications from the very first years of their creative lives. In this
context, the art school has become a particularly attractive place for
ambitious young artists.
This book features a selection of works
by photography students from one of the world’s top art universities:
ECAL, in Lausanne, Switzerland, an institution commited to training
artists, graphic designers, industrial designers, typographers,
filmmakers, interaction designers, and photographers. Here, students
create freely, question the traditional genres, explore new territories,
and experiment with and beyond their media. The works revealed by the
“ECAL Photography” exhibition and collected in the eponymous book are
bound to trace the beginnings of innovative practices in photography.
